the oil is ok i check it nearly every day and its ok, its not white smoke, it that normal smoke you get when the engine is cold, but it does it all the time i drive

blue smoke?
camshafts
pistons
mileage of the engine?

could be valves stems or guides if its just doing when started, blue smoke until oil on top of your piston is burned off.

should only really last a few seconds though
